Our suite of Safety Sense Leaflets cover a range of subjects from winter flying to balloon airmanship. Following the success of the Skyway Code, in 2021 we began a revised series that reflects the latest guidance and best practice for General Aviation pilots.
The latest leaflets cover pilot health, mountain flying, carbon monoxide safety and flying with passengers.
